Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 72209
firstboot setup agent contains untranslated messages in zh_TW locale
Last modified: 2013-01-10 16:38:56 EST
Description of Problem: In firstboot Setup Agent, there are some untranslated messages, such as "Back" and "Forward" buttons. They are not in the PO file. My default LANG is zh_TW. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. First time boots up with LANG=zh_TW 2. Display firstboot Setup Agent 3. Actual Results: Shows some untranslated messages Expected Results: Should include them in the PO file Additional Information: Those untranslated messages are not in the newly updated PO file.
No, those are stock gtk buttons and should be translated in the gtk20.po files. If you were to run another program that uses "Forward" and "Back" buttons such as up2date in zh_TW, you would see the same thing. Other gtk stock buttons such as "Cancel" and "Quit" are translated. Also, the buttons are translated in zh_CN, but some translations are missing from zh_TW. Changing component to gtk2.
Where can I get gtk20.po file? I can do the missing translation for this file and also whom should I send it to after I am done?
hpwu, the gtk files should have been translated in time for the gnome 2.0.1 upstream release and submitted to Abel Cheung (see http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html) Fortunately the GTK 2 zh_TW translation is complete in CVS so we may be able to just copy that.
I just checked the zh_TW's status page of GNOME 2.0 translation. http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/gnome-2.0-core/zh_TW.html I found that gtk+ is only 58.76% done. Please let me know this is not the place where you will retrieve the updated PO file. Also please let me know if I need to do the translation for this file because this file has effects on lots of Red Hat 's configuration tools.
Apologies, I was generating the statistics incorrectly. It would be good to translate GTK but we would need it by Friday or so. It's up to Owen whether he has time to put the files in gnome-i18n/redhat-po and then merge them into gtk again.
I may just do it and submit it to zh_TW's GNOME coordinator by Friday.
OK, you probably need to send the files to us as well to get them in, though, at this point - there won't be time for the gnome coordinator to review the changes, and owen to make a new gtk release. of course they should also go to the upstream coordinator so that they are still there for the next Red Hat Linux after this one.
Havoc - Why would I want to put them in gnome-i18n/redhat-po? There are no local changes for Red Hat to the GTK+ strings. Note that the completion status can be a bit hard to interpret for GTK+. There are two classes of translated strings in GTK+ which are mixed together. A) Strings that appear to developers, like property descriptions for the various controls B) Strings that appear to end users. The strings in class B) are the ones that really matter; but they aren't separated out in any way.
Ok, Havoc. After it is done, I will attach the file to this bug report, of course by this Friday.
gnome-i18n/redhat-po might be useful if we don't yet have approval from the upstream translation maintainer to commit to the main translation copy. It should only be used if we need somewhere to keep translations and can't get approval in time, or have custom red hat string changes.
